Another pastiche to Bouguereau. This time of his 1891 Wet Cupid painting.

Xie belongs to me. Done in openCanvas over a crappy pencil sketch (which is no longer visible). Took about 7-8 hours.

If Xie were to actually stand in the sun as long as it took me to paint this image, his skin would be roasted crimson. DAMN YOU WHY ARE YOU PRETTY?

Anyway, *retrieves her eyes back*. That's the last of 'em for now, folks! I'm tired.

I really love this, and I know you said it was an homage to the original artist, but don't you think you should link to it? It's beautifully painted, but a lot of it is exactly like the original. I just think it's only fair to give the amazing original artist more credit :)

Ha ha, I really should. Thanks for pointing that out.

I assumed people were smart enough to know the original or look it up themselves. Most sites with his paintings are art poster, canvas or other art selling sites with ads, so I wasn't sure the link would be stable. In any case, I did find a gallery site to link to.

I have a print of it hanging up on my wall. I wish the original was more extended like yours is :)
